Thread: Glassing tips

Movement is a key thing especially when looking for tahr and chamois. Deer stand out like dogs balls. They have a much more obvious silhouette and the colour is very obvious usually. Tahr and chamois blend in extremely well, first time you go tahr hunting you will probably see 100 Rock tahr. I was looking at one on the weekend at about 500m he was sitting down, didn't move a muscle for about 20mins then all of a sudden the rock stood up.... Usually if you are 2nd guessing whether it is an animal or rock it's probably a rock...

Good binos certainly help, not necessarily with spotting more animals but you can look for a hell of a lot longer as they don't strain the eyes. Good binos might be the difference between seeing 20 tahr instead of 15 so if you are in a shitty spot that holds fark all animals you might see none with crap binos but pick up one or two with high end binos which equals a feed!
